About our fire rated sealant in Colworth
Door frame gaps, linear joints and holes around services all have their own details. We check the size and the substrate before choosing the product, then apply it to the depth its tested detail calls for. If you have gaps filled with a product that isn’t fire-rated and sealant items on a fire risk assessment action list, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Colworth, commercial jobs tend to be pubs, holiday lets, farm buildings or halls rather than offices. Each still needs sound sealant in its washrooms and kitchens, and fire-rated joints where services pass through walls.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Colworth
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Fire risk assessments, which need a qualified assessor
- Sign-off of the building, which sits with building control or your assessor
- Big openings where sealant alone isn’t the tested solution
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Service penetrations
- Plasterboard & masonry
- Door frames
- Flats & HMOs
- Linear gaps
- Pipe & cable gaps

Fire rated sealant in Colworth: local notes
For seaside hotels, guest houses and holiday lets around Colworth, busy months put washrooms and kitchens under pressure, so it’s worth checking the sealant before the busiest weeks. In England, the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 requires a fire risk assessment for workplaces and for the common parts of blocks of flats, which is often where open fire-stopping gaps are first noticed. We apply fire-rated sealant to the assessor’s or designer’s specification and the product’s tested details.
Managing a site like Bartons Primary School? Then fire-stopping around service openings should be restored whenever new services go in.
Colworth is about 2 miles north of Bognor Regis, in West Sussex.

Our West Sussex coverage runs to 371 places, Colworth among them. For nearby work, see our Portsmouth page (16 miles or so).
Our applicators cover all of the PO20 postcode area for fire rated sealant and the streets around it. We also cover Merston (1 mile west), Oving (2 miles north-west), Lagness (2 miles south-west), Runcton (2 miles west) and Shopwyke (2 miles north-west).

Near you in Colworth
Locally, jobs take us to homes and businesses close to The Regis School and The Brooks Local Nature Reserve. Colworth’s nearest station is Bognor Regis station, about 2.5 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are Bognor Regis Museum (2.7 miles south-east) and Tote Copse Castle (1.3 miles north-east).
Leave it or put it right?
For some gaps, sealant isn’t the right answer and another system is needed. Big openings, bundles of cables and plastic pipes may need batts, collars or wraps instead. If a gap is not suitable for sealant, we will tell you. Around Colworth, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep general-purpose foam and caulk away from fire-stopping gaps
- Look in service cupboards and ceiling voids from time to time
- Ask every contractor to reseal any fire stopping they disturb
- Don’t paint over fire sealant until it has cured
Don’t drill through or remove a fire seal without putting it back properly. New services through a sealed wall should include fire stopping in the plan.
When you plan work that goes through walls or ceilings, plan the fire stopping too. Catching it then saves a separate visit later.
Common problems we fix in Colworth
Buildings are refitted and reconfigured over the years. A house turned into flats or an HMO, or an office split into smaller units, brings new walls, new service routes and new gaps.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Linear gaps at the head of walls
- Seals cut through by electricians, plumbers or data installers
- Joints picked up in a fire-stopping survey
- Open gaps behind door architraves
Letting a property close to Bognor Regis station? Then fire-rated sealant around pipes and cables through walls and floors needs making good whenever new services go through.
